They always do that, thankfully we got ours when it was $120 and used some reward coupons and the 20% off TRU coupon at the time to bring it down to around $80

What is ridiculous is they will go back down and then back up, so you never really know WHEN it will be decent priced. They do the same thing with their other hot toys like Monster High (last year in Nov and Dec they jacked the $19.99 to $34.99)

Unfortunately, it's an exclusive item, so they can get away with it. I probably will end up passing.

From what we have heard its only a timed exclusive, next year it should be at Walmart, Kmart and Target

Creator of Mystical Warriors of the Ring, a 2" Animal Wrestling Minifigure line, with toys now made in China! Check us out!

Walmart (Mostly Super Walmarts) have erected massive displays for TMNT and each has about 3 cases in each. I verified this with a regional manager that all Super Walmarts should have this display up by the 1st of November. They had to raise the price to $8.99 due to the price change I was telling people about (the Classics were not the only thing Playmates increased)

But if anyone is looking for Fish Face there will be 3-4 per display, it is the shortpacked figure in Wave 2

The one near Valley West just put theirs up yesterday. Its a big island display with about 3 cases of figures. The one in Ames had it as well as did Altoona. I expect most of our Super Walmarts have it by now (Grimes, Jordan Creek, and Southridge)

But Fish Face will go quick since he is shortpacked, Metalhead and Dog Pound seem to be about even with 2 per case.

Well I guess we can classify TMNT as a bona fide smash hit! Every store around my area is sold out of pretty much everything. Went to my TRU yesterday and they had a few Shellraisers and Rippin bikes. Target and Walmart were the same a few days before. I ended up ordering the Sewer Lair online after hearing the TRU manager say that I needed to be there first thing in the morning, when they unloaded a truck, just to have a chance at one.

Thankfully we started buying this stuff for my son before the big rush, the only thing we need for him is the stealth bike. Happy hunting everyone!
